Student Success Statement: Diana Nyad

Student Success Statement

I have three messages:

We should never, ever give up.

You are never too old to chase your dreams.

It looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.

Diana Nyad, American Swimmer

Reflection:

I agree with her message because even though dreams seem unattainable at first, the harder you try to accomplish them the less they seem distant. One is never too old to chase their dreams ,if we try hard enough anything is possible because the human body can only do as much as we think we can. I respect that she said swimming is a team effort because that shows how much of a selfless person she is even though she just completed a great task. She knows the struggle that she had to make to accomplish her dream but also understands she did not accomplish it by her self. As a whole her message is inspiring and can be transferred to anything that you want to accomplish. They are quotes everybody should live by.
